Documentary-on-the-run equipment?

Hello folks.

I will be returning home overseas shortly, to attend to an important, but saddening family matter.

Only yesterday, it occurred to me that with this situation I may have a chance for footage for a possible documentary.

I have had no chance to do any preparation on this during the past few weeks, so I have to either borrow or rent equipment.

I wonder if a regular consumer HD/HDV hand-held is good enough for this? Or some other equipment?

Would some kind person/s be able to make recommendations concerning camera (& other equipment) for what amounts to a spontaneous, documentary-on-the-run?

I strongly believe that this is a good opportunity, & I want very much to avoid passing it up. I add that I have a very limited budget.

Thanks.
